Which one of the atoms shown would be most likely to form a cation with a charge of 1?

2 answers:

6 0

Ions are stable atoms of elements formed when original atoms loose or gain electrons to form stable configuration. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons while cations are the positively charged ions formed when atoms loose electrons. In this case a charge of +1 means an atom lost one electron to form a stable configuration. Therefore, the correct answer is A

If I am referring to correct picture then
A. Has Four atoms in outer ring
B. Has Five atoms in outer ring
C. Has Six atoms in outer ring
D. Has Seven atoms in outer ring
E. Has Eight atoms in outer ring
Answer is A
Now we know that an atom wants to complete its outer shell while keeping electrons in pairs of two now in A there are four electrons which which can be ejected while in B will want to accept 3 electrons to complete its shell as ejecting five will take lot of energy similar case will be for C,D and E which would want to accept 2,1,0 electrons respectively

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN] 2AlF₃ + 3K₂O → 6KF + Al₂O₃

[Given] 15.524 g KF

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 6 mol KF = 2 mol AlF₃

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

Molar Mass of F - 19.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of Al - 26.98 g/mol

Molar Mass of KF - 39.10 + 19.00 = 58.1 g/mol

Molar Mass of AlF₃ - 26.98 + 3(19.00) = 83.98 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 15.524 \ g \ KF(\frac{1 \ mol \ KF}{58.1 \ g \ KF})(\frac{2 \ mol \ AlF_3}{6 \ mol \ KF})(\frac{83.98 \ g \ AlF_3}{1 \ mol \ AlF_3})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 7.47966 \ g \ AlF_3$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 5 sig figs.</em>

7.47966 g AlF₃ ≈ 7.4797 g AlF₃

Why does a salt compound give off light (or a colored flame) when burned? 4. did lithium chloride and sodium chloride give off s

Free_Kalibri [48]

3) Answer is: because elements have different emmision spectrum.

Emission spectrum of a chemical element is the spectrum of frequencies emitted due to an atom making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state. Each element's emission spectrum is unique.

4) Answer is: lithium chloride and sodium chloride do not have similar colors.

Lithium ion has red and sodium ion has yellow emission spectrum.

5) Answer is: because metals have valence electrons in different energy shells.

Each transition has a specific energy difference.

6) Answer is: salts of alkaline and earth alkaline metals.

For example barium chloride gives green light.
